我想提出几项，先说“功绩主义”也就是相信每个人的地位忠实呈现他的能力，我认为这种想法太疯狂了，我可以支持所有相信这个想法的，无论是左倾还是右倾的政治家，我同样相信功绩主义，但我认为一个完全彻底以能力取决地位的社会，是个不可能的梦想，Theideathatwewillmakeasocietywhereliterallyeverybodyisgraded,thegood atthetop,andthebadatthebottom,andit'sexactlydoneasitshouldbe,is impossible.Therearesimplytoomanyrandomfactors:accidents,accidentsofb irth,accidentsofthingsdroppingonpeople'sheads,illnesses,etc.wewilln evergettogradethem,nevergettogradepeopleastheyshould.这种我们能创造一个，每个人的能力都忠实地被分级，好的就到顶端，坏的就到底部，而且保证过程毫无差错，这是不可能的，这世上有太多偶然的契机，不同的机运，出身，疾病，从天而降的意外等等，我们却无法将这些因素分级，无法完全忠实的将人分级，i'mdrawntoalovelyquotebySt.augustinein”ThecityofGod,”wherehesays,”it'sasintojudgeanymanbyhispost.”inmodernEnglishthatwouldmeanit'sa上页下页阿兰·德波顿的双语名言+中英对照演讲稿sintocometoanyviewofwhoyoushouldtalktodependentontheirbusinesscard. it'snotthepostthatshouldcount.accordingtoSt.augustine,it'sonly Godwhocanreallyputeverybodyintheirplace.andhe'sgoingtodothaton thedayofJudgmentwithangelsandtrumpets,andtheskieswillopen.insaneidea ,ifyou'reasecularistperson,likeme.Butsomethingveryvaluableinthatid ea,nevertheless.我很喜欢圣奥古斯丁在“上帝之城”里的一句话，他说“以社会地位评价人是一种罪”用现在的口吻说，看一个人的名片来决定你是否要和他交谈，是罪，对圣奥古斯丁来说，人的价值不在他的社会地位，只有神可以决定一个人的价值，他将在天使围绕、小号奏鸣，天空破开的世界末日给于最后审判，如果你是像我一样的世俗论者，这想法太疯狂了，但这想法有它的价值，inotherwords,holdyourhorseswhenyou'recomingtojudgepeople.You don'tnecessarilyknowwhatsomeone'struevalueis.Thatisanunkn ownpartofthem.andweshouldn'tbehaveasthoughitisknown.Thereisan othersourceofsolaceandcomfortforallthis.whenwethinkaboutfailinginlife,whenwethinkaboutfailure,oneofthereasonswhywefearfailingisnotjustaloss ofincome,alossofstatus.whatwefearisthejudgmentandridiculeofothers.andi texists.换句话说，最好在你开口评论他人之前悬崖勒马，你很有可能不知道他人的真正价值，这是不可测的，于是我们不该为人下定论，还有另一种慰藉，当我们想象人生中的失败，我们恐惧的原因并不只是，失去收入，失去地位，我们害怕的是他人的评论和嘲笑，它的确存在，Youknow,thenumberoneorganofridiculenowadays,isthenewspaper.andifyo uopenthenewspaperanydayoftheweek,it'sfullofpeoplewho'vem esseduptheirlives.They'vesleptwiththewrongperson.They'veta kenthewrongsubstance.They'vepassedthewrongpieceoflegislation.w hateveritis.andthenarefitforridicule.inotherwords,theyhavefailed.andtheya redescribedas”losers.”nowisthereanyalternativetothis?ithinkthewesterntraditionshowsusoneglori ousalternative,andthatistragedy.今日世界上最会嘲笑人的，便是报纸，每天我们打开报纸，都能看到那些把生活搞砸的人，他们与错误对象共枕，使用错误药物，通过错误法案，种种，让人在茶余饭后拿来挖苦的新闻，这些人失败了，我们称他们为“失败者”还有其它做法吗？西方传统给了我们一个光荣的选择，就是“悲剧”Tragicart,asitdevelopedinthetheatersofancientGreece,inthefifthcenturyB.c. ,wasessentiallyanartformdevotedtotracinghowpeoplefail,andalsoaccordingthemalevelofsympathy,whichordinarylifewouldnotnecessarilyaccordthem. irememberafewyearsago,iwasthinkingaboutallthis,andiwenttosee”TheSun daySport,”atabloidnewspaperthatidon'trecommendyoutostartreadingifyou&#3 9;renotfamiliarwithitalready.iwenttotalktothemaboutcertainofthegreattrag ediesofwesternart.iwantedtoseehowtheywouldseizethebarebonesofcertain storiesiftheycameinasanewsitematthenewsdeskonaSaturdayafternoon.悲剧的艺术)fextraordinarythings.andsowetendtoworshipourselves.现代社会让我们焦虑的，另一个缘故是，我们除了人类以外没有其它重心，我们是从古至今的第一个无神社会，除了我们自己以外，我们不膜拜任何事物，我们对自己评价极高，为什么不呢，我们把人送上月球，达成了许多不可思议的事，我们习惯崇拜自己，ourheroesarehumanheroes.That'saverynewsituation.mostothersociet ieshavehad,rightattheircenter,theworshipofsomethingtranscendent:agod,as pirit,anaturalforce,theuniverse,whateveritis,somethingelsethatisbeingwors hiped.we'veslightlylostthehabitofdoingthat,whichis,ithink,whywe& #39;reparticularlydrawntonature.notforthesakeofourhealth,thoughit' softenpresentedthatway,butbecauseit'sanescapefromthehumananthill .it'sanescapefromourowncompetition,andourowndramas.andthat&# 39;swhyweenjoylookingatglaciersandoceans,andcontemplatingtheEarthfr omoutsideitsperimeters,etc.weliketofeelincontactwithsomethingthatisnon-human,andthatissodeeplyimportanttous.我们的英雄是人类，这是一个崭新的情况，历史中大部分的社会重心，都是敬拜一位人类以外的灵体，神，自然力、宇宙，总之是人类以外的什么，我们逐渐失去了这种习惯，我想这也是我们越来越被大自然吸引的原因，虽然我们时常显示是为了健康，但我不这么认为，我认为是为了逃避人群的蚁丘，逃避人们的疯狂竞争，我们的戏剧化，这便是为什么我们如此喜欢看海、观赏冰山，从外太空观赏地球等等，我们希望重新和那些“非人类”的事物有所连接，那对我们来说很重要，whatithinki'vebeentalkingaboutreallyissuccessandfailure.andoneoft heinterestingthingsaboutsuccessisthatwethinkweknowwhatitmeans.ifisaid toyouthatthereissomebodybehindthescreenwhoisveryverysuccessful,certai nideaswouldimmediatelycometomind.Youwouldthinkthatpersonmighthav emadealotofmoney,achievedrenowninsomefield.myowntheoryofsuccess--andi'msomebodywhoisveryinterestedinsuccess.ireallywanttobesucc essful.i'malwaysthinking,”Howcouldibemoresuccessful?”Butasigetolder,i'malsoverynuancedaboutwhatthatword”success”mightmean.我一直在谈论成功和失败，成功的有趣之处是，我们时常以为我们知道成功是什么，如果我现在说，这个屏幕后面站着一个非常成功的人，你心里马上就会产生一些想法，你会想，这个人可能很有钱，在某些领域赫赫有名，我对成功的理解是，首先，我是一个对成功非常有兴。
